Campaign website

Guest’s campaign website stated the following:

Congressman Guest was first elected to Congress in 2018, making a commitment to the people of Mississippi that he would fight for conservatives values and support free market economic policies of lower taxes, fewer regulations and promoting our Constitutional freedoms and liberties—including the right to life of the unborn and our 2nd Amendment rights. In Congress, he has also worked to strengthen our agricultural community, fought for stronger border security to stop illegal immigration and drugs, and promoted efforts to secure our nation from terrorist threats. Additionally, Congressman Guest is a strong supporter of our men and women in uniform serving in the Armed Forces, and he is a longtime advocate for our law enforcement officers who do the important work of public safety in our local communities.

Congressman Guest has been active in many legislative efforts during his first term. He was the first Republican freshman member of Congress to write legislation that was passed by the entire U.S. House of Representatives, and the second Republican freshman to author a bill that was signed into law. This legislation, H.R. 1590, titled “The Terrorist and Foreign Fighter Travel Exercise Act,” was authored by Congressman Guest and signed into law by President Donald Trump on October 9, 2019. This legislation promotes the identification and determent of terrorist travel and enhances the United States government’s ability to respond to terrorism by instructing the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop and conduct a preparedness exercise related to the detection and prevention of terrorist and foreign fighter travel.[3]
